How to quickly rack up air miles in Singapore (and 5 other ways to save money with CardUp you need to know about!)

Collecting vast amounts of air miles is undeniably a valued perk of credit card spending. With the right card, securing free flights and upgrades can be a cinch. But what about the times you’re making big monthly payments (think rent, school fees, insurance, tax and more) and are missing out on rewards because the recipient doesn’t accept credit cards? Not only does CardUp provide a solution to this problem, by signing up you’ll also gain access to a whole host of additional perks and benefits that will save you money in the long term.

Start using CardUp for regular, large monthly payments and you’ll quickly see your air miles tally rocket. If jetsetting is a priority, be sure to utilise credit cards that offer the best dollar to mile ratio. We’ve searched the market and there are cards that offer a generous 1.4 to 1.6 miles per dollar uncapped. In other words, for a $1,000 rent payment, you can be earning up to 1,640 miles at a cost of only $26 in CardUp fees, since your rent is an expense you’re already paying for today and getting no rewards on! And at that rate, you’ll quickly rack up enough air miles to open up a world of travel opportunities.

Here’s an example: if you spend $5,000 per month through CardUp using a 1.4 miles per dollar card (plus a 2.6% monthly fee of $130), within a year you’ll accrue 86,100 Krisflyer miles: enough for a business class return ticket to Japan worth $4,000! Though we charge a fee, it is quickly outweighed by the amount you’d be saving on your next flight. Still need convincing? Let us talk you through the logic here. While you’re at it, have a play with our handy air miles calculator to discover how quickly you can accrue enough miles to secure a free flight for your next big trip.

After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any method you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks! http://hellowh983mm.com
